Letting off People from Back 9

What's the point to pay $67 riding on a Weds morning with first tee time only to cruise through front 9 only to run into a wave of old ladies walking and hacking ot up. Is this Chick Evans? Any real course never let's people off Back 9. Fairways were Dry and damaged. #10 is a joke and 17 is one the worst designs of any hole in Muni golf

Hidden Gem

Best course in the Chicagoland area in my opinion when factoring price of tee time. The layout is the best in the area. The short par 4s are are good as any design for any public or private course out there. Challenging par 3s and a great mix of risk reward holes throughout the course. Great course for all skill levels and one that golf course design nerds will love. The staff is always super friendly as well. I can’t recommend this course enough!

Crowded and slow pace of play

I’ve played here a couple of times. The pace of play on the front 9 is slow— averaging about 2hr 45min each time I’ve played. Major back ups by hole 4 and hole 7 par 3s. I suspect the staff over books and start too many 9 hole games on the front 9. Otherwise course is very well maintained and the greens are interesting.

Cute/gimmicky course with beat up greens

Pace of play here is always horrendous. Gimmicky course. Almost annoying. If I didn’t wait every hole and every shot, maybe the course layout could have been something to adore. There are probably almost 100 ball marks on every green. The course is way overplayed. There’s a reason why I only play Mt Prospect once a year and live 6 blocks away.

Enjoyed, but would enjoy more if…

Nice, well maintained course. The greens were fast, which is a pulse compared to the municipal place I usually play. I would have liked a map of the course layout, but they don’t offer that. The course is a little tricky to figure out without a map. Grateful for more sand traps and only a little water to contend with. Staff was very friendly. I would definitely go back.

League play pace is terrible

I was after the last league group - terrible pace of play. At one point there was a group on the tee, 2 groups waiting to play, and another finishing on the previous green.
